The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102: THE SLAVE AND THE MASTER

"After all, the alpha has marked her, so it is natural for the bond to grow between them. They even spent the night together when she was in heat." Dalia brought this topic up because she wanted to find an excuse to explain why the alpha was bringing Iris along with him.

However, before she could continue, to explain the correlation between the two topics, Aria got agitated beyond words.

"Shut up!" Aria hollered. She looked at Dalia with pure malice. "If you talk about that again, I will whip you!"

Dalia sucked in a cold breath when she heard that and then lowered her head. She shut her mouth, not even daring to make a sound as small as a peep.

However, after Aria calmed down, she asked about the sorcerer. She was at her wits end, where she would do anything to get Cane back, as if he was hers from the beginning.

"I heard this sorcerer uses black magic. He can make someone forget about anything, even their own mate and fall head over heels for the person he wants to." She wetted her lips because she was too nervous. "But, the price...."

"I don’t care about the price." Aria cut her off immediately. Cane gave her so much stipend every month.

"But, the black magic..." Dalia looked fearful. "The black magic is highly banned and whoever performed it will be punished," she reminded her.

"In that case, why can he still perform it and you are able to know?" Aria knitted her brows, clearly displeased because she didn’t offer any solution to her.

"That... because this is a secret among the servants." Dalia intentionally lowered her voice, even though it was only the two of them here. "You know... slaves use black magic to gain favor from their masters."

Aria found it was very ironic of her to seek for a solution in a way a slave would when she insisted she wouldn’t live like one.

"I want to see this sorcerer." The words sounded so contemptible in her ears.

Dalia said this sorcerer used to help slaves to gain their master’s favor? Was that what she was to Cane? A slave and her master?

===========================

With a carriage in the entourage, they couldn’t go scale the mountains and chose to take the road instead.

Inside the carriage, Iris opened the small window to look at her surroundings and was amazed by what she was seeing. She couldn’t help but crane her neck.

After they went through the vast barren lands with nothing, but dirt and rocks, pointed and looking as if they had been carved with a chisel loomed precariously, surrounding them, they finally came to the verdant terrains, out of the territory of the Howling Wolf pack.

Lush hazel trees lined the narrow path through the valley. Somewhere from a distance, the sound of rushing water floated over to them. The wind felt refreshing against her face, carrying over a hint of wild flowery scent.
